Ever since reading The Time Traveler's Wife as a teenager I've been a sucker for (romantic) time-travel stories. And yay for me, this was a wonderful execution of that trope! I definitely understood Lucy's need to get out of her 26-year old life, because eesh, every aspect of that gave me stress. The story after the jump is built with so many lovely human elements: a hot and capable husband, a group of loyal and loving long-time friends, a smart kid that forms a friendship with a lonely older person... The story effortlessly switches between funny and emotional and it never looses its pace while you go along with Lucy to figure out the pieces of her 'new' life. With this I finally found the fun and easy read I was craving two weeks ago!
